In an Iran weighed down by a struggling economy, two middle-aged brothers live with their bullying father. A man prone to rages and driven by chauvinism, the father’s abusiveness found his second wife leaving him. Now he picks on his eldest son, while the younger sibling fantasises about ways to kill his father. When the man rents out the flat above to a young woman, with intentions of marrying her, the woman’s attraction to the older son slowly pushes this profoundly damaged family to breaking point.
Director
In her native Iran, Saba is not free to express herself through dance. When she rebels against the rigid rules in a poetic act of defiance, the lines between documentary and fiction begin to blur. A powerful and moving directorial debut.
Javad
Todo país que aplica a pena de morte precisa de pessoas para matar outras pessoas. Quatro homens são colocados diante de uma escolha impensável, mas simples. O que quer que eles decidam, isso irá corroer direta ou indiretamente a eles mesmos, seus relacionamentos e suas vidas inteiras.
